Pooja Sharma who plays Draupadi said, “The role has given me immense satisfaction as an actor, I can’t even express in words what I felt as a woman while enacting the vastraharan sequence. And if someone thinks that Draupadi must have felt weak during the Vastraharan act,

viewers should see the episode to get the real picture. I am very thankful to my writers and producer Siddharth Kumar Tewary to have interpreted the scene so perfectly. Nobody would have imagined the incident to be depicted so well on screen. It was a phenomenal experience to shoot the scene and I really loved every bit of it. I felt empowered and strong as a woman and am sure Draupadi too must have had the same feeling.”
On being asked about the vastraharan sequence, producer Siddharth Kumar Tewary said, “The game of dice is the very basis of Mahabharat. Pandava’s and Draupadi all are present in a critical situation. It is the focal point of the epic. It had to be presented in a unique way to the audiences. Krishna helping Draupadi would also be interesting for viewers.”
Yudhishthira lost Draupadi in a game of dice to Duryodhan. This sequence is considered the highest point of Mahabharat. The game of dice is going on in full swing and audiences are glued on to it on Star Plus’ Mahabharat, which will showcase the cheerharan episode this week.
